a prayer at mid-day

a great word for the middle of the day with a long to-do list in front of me... 

A Prayer at Mid-Day 

-Richard Foster

The day has been breathless, Lord. 

I stop now for a few moments and I wonder: 

Is the signature of the holy over the rush of the day? 

Or have I bolted ahead, anxiously trying to solve problems that do not belong to me?

Holy Spirit of God, please show me:

How to work relaxed, 

how to make each task an offering of faith,

 how to view interruptions as doors of service, 

how to see each person as my teacher in things eternal. 

In the name of him who always worked unhurried.  Amen.

Taylor and I put his yearly collage together on Monday afternoon... 

HAPPY (almost) 11th BIRTHDAY, TAYLOR! 

and of course he had fun choosing some favorite pix to go on the back too!
